Step 1

Start by marinating the shrimp. Add the olive oil, lime juice, spices and cilantro to a bowl medium bowl. Pat the shrimp dry, then add it to the marinade and toss to fully coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Step 2

While it's marinading, assemble the shrimp bowls. Make the rice according to package instructions (I like minute rice), then top with desired toppings.

Step 3

To cook the shrimp, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (no oil needed). When it's hot, add the shrimp to the pan in an even layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. The shrimp will turn an opaque and pink color and form a loose "C" shape when it's done. Remove the shrimp from the heat and stir to fully coat it in any sauces that are in the pan.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to your assembled bowl and top with more lime juice, fresh cilantro and creamy cilantro ranch if desired. See recipe notes for meal prepping.
